Christmas in July at the Queen Victoria Market

This month Queen Victoria Market (QVM) transforms into a winter wonderland in readiness for the iconic Winter Night Market’s annual Christmas in July.

Every Wednesday night until July 27, the market will embrace the festive spirit with jolly line-up of street food, warming drinks, carollers and roving performers.

If Melbourne winter wasn’t cold enough, those wishing for a white Christmas can experience a snow machine under the heritage rooflines of the QVM sheds.

The market halls will be decked with Christmas trees, festively-themed entertainment and some of Melbourne’s best winter warming foods and drinks.

Some highlights to look out for are live ice sculpting, Christmas carols to spread the cheer and joy with all your Yuletide favourites, an illuminated mini forest of Christmas trees, everyone’s favourite Guru Dudu Silent Disco, hot drinks like spiked Milo, mulled wine and hot gin toddies, to get you through the cold, and handcrafted gingerbread.

Christmas in July Winter Night Market is on every Wednesday this July from 5pm to 10pm. •
